Readers,
Thank you all for commenting on the first part of Reaching Out and as promised here is part 2.
I had one commenter who claimed that the age of my characters was not defined, but that commenter did not read where I did define the age of the people in the neighborhood. In case you missed it the characters are older and that is why it is listed in the Mature category--" He rarely even saw any of his neighbors; they rarely left their homes. It was an older neighborhood with most who lived here being retired and not very active." -- from part 1.
I ended part 1 on a cliffhanger fully intending to write a part 2. One commenter did not like the cliffhanger claiming it was unnecessary. It is a new technique for me, but I'm not sure it was unnecessary.
I tend to write more of a "day-in-the-life' stories and that does not allow all questions to be answered as in a more traditional ending. The reader is left to fill in the future of the characters, more in tune with real life, but I understand that not all readers like this style of writing and need 'closure'.

Reaching Out Part 2
Joe E Hartley
June 2022
The next morning Jack headed out on his quest to find items he needed for the evening. He felt as if he were on a scavenger hunt, like when he was younger. He started his search at the nearest thrift shop and browsed through the racks of used clothing. At the first store he found and old woman's coat with a fur collar and a silk lining, both items he wanted.
He continued his hunt at several other stores and after just a couple of hours had a collection of items that would satisfy his needs for tactile stimulation. He next had to go to the store he hadn't been in for several years, He wasn't sure they were open yet since it as just noon and stores like this catered to the evening crowd. He was in luck as they had just opened and he found an entire wall dedicated to the items he sought. He picked one that he thought would work for a novice and made his purchase.
Julie looked forward to her task assignments and started to search the website she'd used before looking for more videos. She had to look up several terms, since she'd never heard of them before. What was a pony-girl? A lot of the terms she wanted to know about lead her to porn sites instead of definitions. She did find out what a pony-girl was and once she did, she knew that was far more advanced that she was ready for.
She put videos of several fetishes in her cart. She had videos on bondage, leatherwear, visual restriction, teasing, discipline, and several others, before she realized the total cost so far was more than she was willing to spend. She had to limit her selections to only two or three videos.
She decided to go back to the porn site she found and check out a few of the free short videos there to help her understand what these fetishes were all about. After a couple hours and a bit of embarrassment she had an understanding of a small sample of what was available. She ended up ordering two videos, one on bondage and one on spanking. She paid extra for a rush delivery, but still would have to wait a day before she could watch them with Jack. Both of these topics seemed tame enough for her to explore based on the other fascinations she learned about.
Recognizing she still had a few hours before she expected Jack, she went back to the porn site thinking that she could bookmark a few for she and Jack to view together this evening. She liked a few depicting mistress/slave encounters. She wondered if Jack would like the outfits the mistresses wore. She bookmarked a few of these videos. She also bookmarked a few of the milder BDSM videos.
Julie noticed the time and shut down her computer. She expected Jack in about an hour, just enough time for her to take a shower and see if she had anything erotic, she could wear for her date tonight.
She finished her shower and put on the only thing she had that could be considered sexy and only if you didn't look too closely. It was a nightgown she'd bought years ago, but never wore. She considered herself lucky that it still fit. Most women, her age, tended to put on a lot more weight than she had. She set out a bottle of wine; she'd read somewhere that wine tasted better if it was allowed to breathe as they said. The bottle was opened and two glasses sat nearby.
Jack called before heading over to Julie's house to make sure he wasn't too early; they had not set a time the night before. Within a few minutes he knocked on her door carrying a bag of the goodies he'd acquired on his scavenger hunt.
Julie answered the door and immediately noticed the bag and asked, "Is that the materials you talked about last night for the sensual massage?"
Jack reached into the bag and brought out a small swatch of animal fur and lightly rubbed it against her cheek, "Yes," he replied as she sighed and leaned into the soft fur in his hand.
"Wow!" she said when he removed his hand and placed the fur back into the bag. "I think I'm going to like this massage," she offered.
"I think you might. I did collect several items for the massage. I see you are dressed for another evening like last night. I do like it. Are you planning on us watching some more porn?" he asked.
I did buy some videos that I thought might be interesting, but they won't be here until tomorrow. Do you ever look at porn videos on the internet?" She asked.
"I haven't for a while, but I am familiar with some sites. Why?" He answered.
